In the group match against France, which the Netherlands won 4–1, Robben was brought on at half-time. He dragged the ball out of reach of a defender near the half-way line and paced his way ahead of three defenders, then crossed straight to Van Persie, who powered a shot into the goal past France goalkeeper Grégory Coupet. At 2–0, Thierry Henry scored a goal for France, making it 2–1, but almost directly after the restart, Robben was played through by Sneijder and he ran at the France goal and was forced into an acute angle, but despite the angle, he shot the ball into the net past Coupet.
2010 World Cup
Robben was selected by new manager Bert van Marwijk for the final 23-man Dutch squad for the 2010 World Cup.[123][124] In the team's last friendly match against Hungary, just before its flight to South Africa on 4 June, Robben fell awkwardly and picked up a hamstring injury, causing concern over his fitness for the tournament.[125] On 5 June, Van Marwijk announced that he had "decided not to summon any substitute for Arjen. I want to give him every chance to still participate in the World Cup".[126] On 12 June, Robben arrived in South Africa to join the team.[127] He was an unused substitute for the opening match against Denmark as they coasted to a 2–0 victory, and again in the 1–0 victory against Japan. He came on in the 73rd minute against Cameroon in their 2–1 victory, hitting the post from which Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored from the rebound.[128]
On 28 June 2010, Robben started his first match against Slovakia in which he went on to score the first goal in the second round as the Netherlands won 2–1. He also won the man of the match award.[129] Robben scored the third goal with a well-placed header in the semi-finals against Uruguay which the Netherlands won 3–2 to reach the final.[130] Robben played for the full match in the final as the Netherlands lost 1–0 to Spain.[131] Robben had Netherlands's best opportunity of the match when played in on goal by Wesley Sneijder in the 62nd minute of the match, but was denied by Iker Casillas.[132] Robben was nominated for the 2010 World Cup Golden Ball, the tournament's best player, which was won by Diego Forlán.
Euro 2012
Robben was selected to play for the Netherlands at Euro 2012.[133][134] He started in the first group stage match, a 1–0 loss to Denmark, in which he hit the post with a curled effort. In the next match, a 2–1 loss to Germany, he hopped over the advertising boards and walked the long way round after being subbed off for Dirk Kuyt because he thought he could have inspired the Netherlands to a win.[135] After a 2–1 loss to Portugal, the Netherlands were knocked out with three straight defeats.
2014 World Cup
In the Netherlands' first match of the 2014 World Cup, Robben scored two goals in a 5–1 win over Spain.[136] In the Netherlands' second group stage match, a 3–2 win over Australia, Robben scored the team's opening goal as they qualified for the knockout stage.[137] In the round of 16 knock-out match with Mexico, the Netherlands won on a penalty awarded after Robben went down following a challenge from Rafael Márquez. The Associated Press said that Robben's "theatrical" fall "did little to defuse the debate about his reputation for diving".[138] Robben maintained that the penalty was correct but admitted to falling easily earlier in the match, telling a Dutch TV channel that "the one [at the end] was a penalty, but the other one was a dive in the first half. I shouldn't be doing that".[139]
In the quarter-final, Robben scored the Netherlands' second kick in a 4–3 penalty shootout defeat of Costa Rica.[140] On 11 July, Robben was named on the ten-man shortlist for FIFA's Golden Ball award for the tournament's best player.[141]
On 28 August 2015, Robben was named captain of the Netherlands, replacing Robin van Persie.[142]
2018 World Cup
On 10 October 2017, Robben retired from international football after the team's unsuccessful 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign.[143] He collected 96 caps between 2003 and 2017 for the Oranje and scored 37 goals.[144]
Estilo de juego
Throughout most of his career, Robben has been regarded as one of the best wingers in the world, with ESPN stating he is "able to take on and beat defenders at the drop of a hat, Robben's ability to get to the byline and deliver in accurate crosses instils fear into any defence".[145][146] Usually deployed on the right wing, Robben often cuts inside on his left foot to move to a more central attacking position, and uses his speed and dribbling skills to take on defenders until he finds the space to make an attempt on goal.[147]
– Borussia Dortmund's Kevin Großkreutz on having two players mark Robben.[148]
He is predominantly a left-footed player.[149] During a match he will often drift to the left wing, with his teammate, in the case of Bayern Munich, Franck Ribéry, switching over to the right. Another factor in his playing style is his relationship with the right-fullback. At Bayern, this partnership with Philipp Lahm has had benefits for the team's efficiency and chemistry. Robben's defensive work improved when he went to Bayern where he often tracks back and covers for his partner when he pushes forward and becomes a temporary right back.[147]
– Robben admits to diving against Mexico in 2014, but argues that it only happened during the less-crucial first half.[150]
Robben has been often accused of diving, and he has at times openly admitted to the charges.[151][152][153][154] In December 2011, Robben apologised for a dive against VfL Bochum in a DFB-Pokal match which earned him a yellow card, saying, "I must not do things like this."[155] In July 2014, Robben admitted to diving in the first half of Netherlands' match against Mexico in the last 16 round of the 2014 World Cup, but maintained that he had not dived for the decisive penalty he won in stoppage time which Netherlands converted to win 2–1.[151] Following the incident, Robben's former manager at Chelsea, José Mourinho, said that Robben's speed and creativity cause opponents who cannot stop him to foul him, but "sometimes [Robben] tries to get an advantage, or to get a penalty".[156]
Vida personal
Robben married his girlfriend Bernadien Eillert on 9 June 2007 in Groningen.[157] The two met while in high school in the city, at the Kamerlingh Onnes,[158] and have two sons, Luka (born 2008) and Kai (born 2012) and a daughter, Lynn (born 2010).[159][160] Robben's father, Hans, works as his agent.[161]
The circumstances of Arjen and Bernadien's first meeting have been reported by his former youth coach, Barend Beltman: "Arjen was driven and determined at a young age. He was always on time, never late. But one Friday afternoon he showed up 15 minutes past the start of practice. I asked him what was going on. 'We were at the market square, having fun,' he said. There were some girls with him and his friends, so I asked, 'Was she worth it?' 'Yes, trainer, she was,' he told me. I told him to get his gear and join the training session. At his wedding, I heard the woman he met that day was now his wife and mother of his children. Bernadien is her name."[162]
Patrocinio
Robben has a sponsorship deal with German sportswear and equipment supplier Adidas.[163] Robben features in EA Sports' FIFA video game series, and was the third-highest-rated player in FIFA 15.[164]
